EDUCATION

ADULT LEARNING PROGRAMMES

We normally offer a different adult education series each term taught by one or several of our rabbis. These normally consist of 4 to 6 sessions held on a weekday evening. In the last year, our adult education series have covered topics such as Swimming in the Sea of Talmud, Swimming in the Sea of Midrash and The Founders and Foundations of Liberal Judaism. For details of our current adult education series, please see Davar.

Hebrew Crash Course

Our annual Hebrew Crash Course is a wonderful opportunity to learn to read or improve your Hebrew in a weekend in a stimulating community atmosphere.

The Hebrew Crash Course is led by our rabbis and normally takes place over a weekend at the beginning of March.

Parashat Hashavua

Join us every Friday from noon to 1.30pm in our community room to study the Torah portion of the week. The sessions involve a lovely bring-and-share lunch and a lively discussion led by one of our Rabbis. Feel free to come for a one-off session or become one of our regulars. As well as being a wonderful opportunity to study our most sacred text in greater detail, we promise you’ll be blown away by the warm and sociable atmosphere.

Jewish Festivals

We provide special activities for children for all Jewish festivals. In general, these take place parallel to the Festival morning service and are open to all children independent of whether they are enrolled in the Cheder (religion school). In addition, we also have dedicated children’s programming in the late afternoon before First Day Sukkot (decorating our Sukkah), for first night Chanukah candle lighting, for the evening of Purim and during our communal Pesach Seder.
